Guns

...and now available on DVD.

A long long time ago I said I would post reviews for the entire Andy Sidaris girls, guns and G-strings films. Some of the have already been reviewed but still I have plenty of them left for reviewing, like today's entry 1990's Guns. Now, if you still happen to be one of the very few connoisseurs that haven't yet had the chance of watching one of the Andy Sidaris movies, I'll introduce you to all of them in a brief explanation. Mr. Sidaris specializes in delivering entertaining films based mostly on secret agents, contraband and plenty of explosive action led by the hottest centerfolds money can buy, so yeah, big boobs, perfect round asses and  a lote of nude gals complete Andy Sidaris recipe. A recipe that lasted 12 succesful movies from 1985 up to 1998. His movies were all recently re-released in 2011 by Millcreek Entertainment on a 3 DVD pack called "Girls, Guns and G-Strings" that is available for quite a  decent price. 

Guns, follows the steps of a Hawaii based mexican gun dealer who sells chinese weapons to the southamerican guerilla. It just so happens that this guy Juan Degas, AKA Jack of Diamonds (played by star Eric Estrada)  has some unfinished business with a lady in Molokai, so after he hires a couple of hitmen to get rid of her, shit happens and all of a sudden secret agents are following his steps wherever he goes.

She sure rocks with guns.

Once again writer/director Andy Sidaris works his usual entertainingly kitschy magic with his customary winning blend of lovely ladies who bare their tasty wares with pleasing regularity, an amusingly goofy sense of self-mocking humor, big splashy explosions, several ineptly staged action set pieces, a good amount of bloody violence, a constant snappy pace, and gorgeous globe-trotting locations which give this picture an impressively expansive feeling of scope. Of course, the standard bevy of hot babes helps a lot: busty blonde Dona Speir as the feisty Donna Hamilton, yummy brunette Roberta Vasquez as the sultry Nicole Justin, scorching Cynthia Brimhall as foxy singer Edy Stark, ravishing Devin De Vasquez as Juan's sexy, yet lethal moll Cash, and adorable Kym Malin as sassy wrestler Kym. Moreover, Phyllis Davis delivers a lively performance as Donna's hard-nosed district attorney mother Kathryn Hamilton, Danny Trejo(yes, Machete!) does well as Juan's smooth henchman Tong, and Chuck McCann contributes a funny turn as impish magician Abe. As an added plus, the divine Ms. Brimhall belts out a couple of cool 90's pop songs (the titular tune in particular is a real boot) and two bumbling transvestite hit men supply gut-busting comic relief. Hward Wexler's slick cinematography gives this movie an attractive bright look. Richard Lyons' bouncy synthesizer score hits the stirring spot. An enormously fun flick as opposed as many other reviewers has stated in several movie sites.

Overall, Guns is perhaps one of the most entertaining films Sidaris delivered. It does have some sexploitation scenes, only this time they feel more moderate if compared to his past attempts. The score has a 90's B movie vibe all over that suits the storytelling quite well. Also, the landscapes Hawaii provides, give the film a sense of continuity, as if all of Sidaris movies happened in the same universe, and in a way that is kind of correct, cause most of the characters seen on his films either, appear in several movies or their names are quoted as if they were really part of the action. Somehow, that is quite an interesting element that adds a sense of "welcome to the Sidaris universe"  The acting isn't that bad either, since Sidaris hires the same centerfolds for most of his films, they kind of learned how to act in the proper way. The special effects are quite good, the explosions are very real, and most of the shootings(mostly done with silencers to make it sound clean) are also quite realistic. I believe this is one of my favorite Andy Sidaris films, as it has quite a decent plot,  and plenty of fast action. go watch it now kiddo.

Motorcycle sex, you should try it sometime.

This is what secret agents are made of.
